If you have sensitive skin, shaving with an electric razor may be for you, but only if you know what you're doing. Shaving with a razor blade actually removes a layer of skin, and while this might result in a closer shave, it may also cause irritation. Electric razors (http://www.mugonline.

The more expensive razors generally have blades that move at much higher speeds, meaning they'll cut more efficiently and effortlessly. Inexpensive electric razors can actually twist or pull the hair causing irritation.

There are two types of electric razors ? linear and rotary. Linear razors generally provide a closer shave while the rotary provides an easier, faster shave. Linear razors are also better for sensitive skin. You can use an electric razor to get a nice, close shave. Here's how: When shaving with an electric razor, you want your face to be dry so that the razor can glide smoothly.

Use an electric preshave solution or a toner before shaving. This will absorb excess oil to provide a smooth, dry surface. Use your free hand to stretch and hold your skin. Move the razor against the grain to get closer. After shaving, protect your MUG by applying an alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and moisturizing after shave balm, gel, or lotion.

This may be the most important step in that it nourishes, protects, soothes and regenerates the skin. Use an exfoliating scrub 3 times per week. Since you are not getting any exfoliating action by using an electric razor, the scrub will remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.
